Dropping the F-BOB
Hello World!
Cyberspace knows no boundaries, nor will the topics covered in this blog. No one knows what the next topic may be, perhaps only the divine, or those who have taken an interest in this virtual journal and are reading in the archives. One thing is certain, I may recover some articles from blogs past, and whatever topic I care to rant on about. Needless to say I intend to write atleast once a day about whatever event stirs me most.
To give a perspective on the author, aka desplica, is the pen name of a thirty year old geek who was born and raised in Macon, Georgia. (discontinuing my third person narrative, my real name is Jon and I intend to keep it that way) For readers unaware of the origins of my pen name, it's a long standing alias I've used for years on various message boards and messenger clients over the years.
The Origins of a Name
de-splica (di- slpice-eh)- a person who (cuts and joins using a film editors tool known as a splicer) edits film. I made that word up when I was 17, but for a time I used a splicer daily and I have become quite adept at non-linear video editing. in one aspect i've stuck with it, in others, I have not. I have moved on to other things, some greater, and some not so greater. My film editing career never really moved anywhere outside of college, but not for a lack of interest, but for the reality that there are no good paying jobs where I am located in the field, emphasis on the word good paying. I'm too picky. I still enjoy watching films (and popcorn movies).
In case you were wondering F-BOB means first blog on blogger.
